MORE CHARGES FILED IN HUNTERDON CHILD PORN CASE
Hunterdon County Prosecutor Anthony P. Kearns, III, announced the filing of additional charges against Charles DiGregorio.
On November 2, 2011, FBI Agents and HCPO Detectives executed a search warrant at the Raritan Township home of Charles DiGregorio. Detectives seized computer equipment and records pertaining to the investigation. Mr. DiGregorio was arrested by HCPO Detectives and charged with the Distribution of Child Pornography (2nd degree) and Possession of Child Pornography (4th degree). Bail was set in November at $100,000 by the Honorable Stephen B. Rubin, J.S.C.
According to Prosecutor Kearns, “After completing a forensic examination of the computer equipment, it was determined that Mr. DiGregorio would be served with an additional complaint of Manufacturing Child Pornography - Endangering the Welfare of a Child (2nd degree).”
Judge Rubin increased DiGregorio’s bail to $200,000 as a result of the additional charge. DiGregorio is currently lodged in the Hunterdon County Jail.
The joint investigation was conducted by agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Cyber Crimes Unit, the Hunterdon County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit, and the Raritan Township Police Department.
The filing of a criminal complaint is merely a step in the criminal justice process. The
defendant is presumed innocent until the matter is resolved in a court of law.
